Samyya is one of the underclassmen in Georgia whose potential I am very high on. Her length and athleticism is impossible to miss on the court for the Lady Pirates. She erases shots on defense and can take over a game rebounding the ball. On the break she is almost impossible to stop going downhill with her ability to elevate in the air and wingspan to finish from difficult angles. Gilbert has all of the physical tools a player could ask for. With continued development and productivity over the next two years she could find herself ranked among Georgia’s very best in the 2028 class.

Gilbert is a walking double double that knows how to capitalize around the rim. A player that knows how to pinpoint the rebounds on both ends of the floor. Always working to create easy scoring opportunities at the rim and extra opportunities with her rebounding prowess. Gilbert is averaging a career high this season with 14.7ppg and 8.5rpg.

Athletic rangy forward is a versatile defender and a springy rebounder. Her energy sparks her offense, scoring on putbacks and in transition. Has doubled her scoring output in Year 2, averaging 15.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.5 steals.

Gilbert made her presence felt in all facets of the game for Brunswick. Gilbert used her long frame to wreak havoc on the boards, both offensively and on the defensive end. She excelled pushing the ball in transition after securing rebounds on defense and was a threat to keep the ball and score or find an open teammate on the break. Gilbert also was the recipient of passes on the break for layups after sprinting the floor. She has the size of a post with the skill of a guard and very good athleticism to go with it. Gilbert is a player who could see her ranking increase exponentially with more performances like tonight.

Gilbert is long, athletic, and active. She runs the floor hard, gets on the glass, and defends with effort. Her frame and movement suggest she’ll be able to defend multiple positions. As she adds polish to her offensive game, Gilbert has the upside to be a productive two-way player.

Samyya Gilbert Samyya Gilbert 5'11" | PF/SF Brunswick | 2028 State GA was a standout at the Wildcat Shootout with tangibles and intangibles that jumped off the court. Gilbert was active on both ends of the court and displayed instincts that are far ahead of her 2028 peers. When Gilbert secures a rebound or steal, she instinctively makes a play vertically (if open). The young forward can also grab the rebound and go, and she showed good handles in the transition game. On offense she knows how to score with great touch in the paint. She out- leverages defenders, draws fouls, finishes around the rim with a smooth shooting touch and can also score through contact. On defense she did a good job of defending the paint with timely blocks. She handles the ball well in open court, sees the floor, and plays with poise and purpose and has a high basketball IQ. College coaches were in the building and they were impressed.

Athletic and long. Runs the floor consistently. Scored all 12 of her points against Murray County in transition. Useful rebounder. Has upside to become a multi-positional defender.
